Funded Activity Summary

Propagation and properties of solitonic matterwaves in atomic metamaterials. This project aims to develop and investigate solitonic matter waves interacting with crystals of light, known as optical lattices. Using a unique apparatus, the project plans to investigate how solitonic matter waves propagate in their ground and excited states, how those matter waves interact with each other, and how we can manufacture new optical materials to obtain different, and potentially useful, new behaviour. Although the proposed studies are purely fundamental in nature, the project has the potential to affect the field of quantum sensors, where solitonic matter waves are predicted to offer gains over traditional atom sources.
